The Department of Health gave a go signal for the COVID-19 vaccination of the Filipino essential workers or the A4 priority group in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

Based on the data of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), more than 35 million Filipino workers from the NCR Plus 8 (NCR, Metro Cebu, Metro Davao, Bulacan, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga, and Rizal) and outside the NCR are eligible to receive their shot and are targeted to be inoculated as part of the A4 priority sector.

Who are eligible under the A4 category?

In Resolution No. 117 of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), the A4 category includes the following:

  • private sector workers required to be physically present at their designated workplace outside of their residence,
  • employees in government agencies and instrumentalities,
  • informal sector workers and self-employed who may be required to work outside their residences, and
  • Filipinos working in private households.

These are workers with high level of exposure to the public such as frontline government workers, workers in food manufacturing, supermarkets and delivery services, frontline workers in hotels and accommodation, security guards or personal assigned in the establishments, construction workers, and other employees for either private or government sector that needs to work outside of their homes.
